Message to the rookies:
It only works with Asss servers. You can run it using "java chatnet" (use a command prompt, batch file, make a shortcut, whatever). |

You're not in the right directory apparently. You have to either go to the right dirctory (using 'cd') or type the full path after 'java'. |

'Chatnet' is a TCP protocol specifically for chatting in subspace without the need of a game client.
[..] It also saves bandwidth because only the text is sent to and from chatnet clients (as opposed to position packets). [..]

Qndre: Each is for its own. TCP is good for reliable data, where speed doesn't matter. If it takes 50 ms or 500 ms for a text message to get sent, it doesn't matter. UDP is for speed, where packet order does not matter. |

And because you get a LOT of extra packets, you do waste bandwidth. |

TCP is much better for raw chat, and it uses much less bandwidth, especially in an arena with people playing. |

Right. If you use UDP, you also get the other player's position, etc.! [...] If you only want an ASSS client (and don't want to use it at subgame2), using TCP is a good idea. |

This is a chat only client. Why wiould you want position packets? |
